We all know that once we set a page header on one page, the same header will be added to all the pages in Word. So how to make the header different on each page? Many people may have asked this question especially when they are writing a paper. Now let’s see how to do it in Word 2016. Different First Page. First, double click the header area. I would like to create a Word template that will automatically (no user input) have a header and footer on the first page, and no header and the same footer for the second and all subsequent pages. I can do this easily with my input once I am in the Word documents, but desire to have the template automatically delete the header for pages 2.

Benefits of Using Word Heading Styles
Modifying “Styles” in a Word document is a good technique to use the formatting tools in Word, while creating more accessible content. Using Word Styles tools allows you to:
- to personalize and design your Word documents while using recommended styles such as Heading 1, Heading 2 and others.
- to easily create table of contents by finding and listing content based on styles
- to facilitate transition of content to other formats and preserve heading structure (e.g. export to a tagged PDF or to an InDesign template)
- to globally modify content by changing one Style setting. This includes modifications needed for a low vision student or a student with other reading/visual processing issues.
